A public request from the Phoenix Police
asks for information about a child. The available source text does not provide further identifying details.
The Public Request
The request seeks information about a child, but the supplied material does not identify that child as Carlos Martinez.
Phoenix Police are directing anyone with information to call 602-262-6151 rather than respond on social media. The department's post specifically warned that comments and direct messages are not valid ways to report tips, asking instead that anyone with information pick up the phone.
A New State Law Behind the Post
The department also noted that a new state law, ARS 8-901, requires law enforcement agencies to share flyers of missing children, a requirement it cited as the basis for publicizing the request. The specifics of that statute were not detailed further in the department's post, and Hoodline has not independently reviewed the law's full text through the Arizona Revised Statutes database.
No further updates are included here. Anyone with information is urged to call 602-262-6151.
